FAST FOOD NEWS: Burger King Philly Cheese King

/ / Fast Food News / 4 Comments

PhillyKing

The Nightmare King isn’t the only new burger from Burger King this month. The fast food chain also introduced the Philly Cheese King, or as I want to call it, the Philly CheesestaKing.

But, that’s dumb name because there’s no steak involved with it. It’s just like Burger King’s 2016 Extra Long Philly Cheeseburger. The Philly Cheese King is just two 1/4 lb. flame-grilled beef patties, American cheese, caramelized onions, and American cheese sauce on a toasted sesame seed bun. If you want carbs that’s fancier than that bun, the burger is also available with a toasted sourdough bun.

The Philly Cheese King has 900 calories, 55 grams of fat, 26 grams of saturated fat, 3 gram of trans fat, 210 milligrams of cholesterol, 1600 milligrams of sodium, 47 grams of carbohydrates, 1 grams of fiber, 7 grams of sugar, and 56 grams of protein.

QUICK REVIEW: Dunkin’ Donuts Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Bottled Iced Coffee

/ / Reviews / 1 Comment

Dunkin Donuts Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Bottled Iced Coffee

What is the Dunkin’ Donuts Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Bottled Iced Coffee?

A limited edition, pumpkin spice-flavored addition to Dunkin’s bottled iced coffee line that made its debut early last year. This is the second new flavor introduced this year, the first being Cookies & Cream.

How is it?

Unlike the previously mentioned Cookies & Cream flavor, which didn’t taste like what it’s supposed to, this one tastes exactly like how it’s supposed to. From the first sip, the familiar spices — ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves — coat my tongue much like brown and orange leaves cover the ground during fall.

Dunkin Donuts Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Bottled Iced Coffee 2

It tastes like I’m eating pumpkin pie with a glass of iced coffee that’s medium on the cream while I sit on my porch watching the fall breezes make those orange and brown leaves dance in my yard at a party I’ll have to clean up later with a rake. I very much enjoyed drinking it, but it’s also not that different from other pumpkin spice iced coffee drinks I’ve had.

If you stuck an incomplete jack-o-lantern on my head with the mouth cut out to act as a blindfold and had me drink various pumpkin spice iced coffees available from stores and fast food chains, I don’t think my taste buds would be able to determine which is which. It’s like finding an orange leaf on the ground with all the other fallen leaves, raking them into a pile, and then trying to find that leaf.

Is there anything else I need to know?

Apparently, I’m REALLY into fall leaf imagery right now. Maybe because we on this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean don’t experience fall as most of the United States does.

For you caffeineheads, all 13.7 fluid ounces will get you 187 milligrams of caffeine. So make your heart rate spike with pumpkin spice.

Conclusion:

The Dunkin’ Donuts Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Bottled Iced Coffee is a pleasant way to sip the fall flavor, but nothing stands out about it. It’s just another good option to get one’s pumpkin spice coffee fix.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Starbucks Witch’s Brew Frappuccino

Fall WitchsBrew

Update: We reviewed it! Click here to read our review.

There’s a new Instagram-ready, barista-frustrating, and dentist fist-shaking Halloween-themed Starbucks beverage this year — the Witch’s Brew Frappuccino.

According to Starbucks, the beverage starts with a purple blend of “toad’s breath” and orange crème Frappuccino and a swirl of green “bat warts” (made with chia seeds), and it topped with vanilla whipped cream and dusting of green “lizard scale” powder.

The Witch’s Brew Frappuccino is available at participating Starbucks stores in the United States, Canada, Mexico and select markets in the Caribbean for a limited time while supplies last.

A grande with whole milk has 390 calories, 16 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 gram of trans fat, 50 milligrams of cholesterol, 240 milligrams of sodium, 58 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 53 grams of sugar, and 6 grams of protein.
